4.0 out of 5 stars works great but don't drop it, March 11, 2010

The thermometer appears to be very accurate and it responds quite quickly. The thermometer was much bigger than I expected and it is really easy to hold and to read. Tempering cocoa butter really takes a lot of patience. It's easy to lose your temper while tempering but that is no fault of the thermometer. I bought two and one of them managed to roll of the table surface and as you would expect broke into pieces when it hit the floor. At least it is not full of mercury so there was no danger. Also, it broke cleanly into three pieces and did not shatter into little pieces at all. Good price.

I bought this thermometer to temper chocolate, and judging by the finished product of my first attempt, it has proven itself to be very good at that. Though I can't say I have any other thermometer to measure it against, it gave me the temperature of the chocolate quickly and accurately, even through the chocolate that had dried onto it. I was a bit nervous about the outcome since it was my first time tempering chocolate, but it turned out well, and I think a good part of the reason (aside from the recipe I managed to get a hold of) is the reliability of this thermometer.

Given its temperature range (40-130 degrees F), it won't be good for much else besides tempering, but it's called a "Chocolate Tempering Thermometer" for a reason. All in all, a worthy buy, with bonus points for its price. Just note that it IS glass, so you'll have to be careful with it.

These thermometers are excellent. Chocolate tempering requires a high degree of accuracy and quick response, these provide both. If your working with chocolate, these are a must have.
